Thanks. 1. For consistency: I am using / everywhere else in my script.
2. For ease of use: I am passing the string to a client application (using rcom) where it is easeir to handle / than \\. ________________________________ See ?gsub But why would you do that? Both / and \\ are valid in a path, aren't they?
